Too frequently I see players never get the butt end of the club
pointing at the target. In order to achieve a finish (or at least the
latter stage of the follow through) where the butt end of the club is
aimed at the target, the right arm must fold across the chest, the
forearms must have some roll, and the left elbow must be pointing
down. The wrist must also re-hinge (or recock) the club letting the
club pass the hands.

What I see instead is where the body turn continues much further than
is necessary which drags the club through impact and release rather
than actually letting the clubhead pass the hands.

Now, the hands should be ahead of the ball at impact, but not for very
long. Otherwise the body is simply turning and pulling the club
across the body instead of releasing it OUT away from the body.

So, finish as best you can with the butt end of the club pointing at
your target, and your left elbow pointing DOWN to the ground. You'll
find yourself actually increasing compression because you'll be
properly releasing the club instead of holding the face open.

I think a hinged club (used properly) will help with this problem (and
several other ones).
To start out... bring the club (very slowly) from address to parallel
with the ground in a one piece motion. stop there and make sure it is
parallel to the toe line, then straight up to the top, back down to
ground parallel (gp) on toe line, around through impact to gp on the
front side (again parallel to toe line), then up to the finish. This
is segmented with some corners in it. Smooth out the corners and you
should have a pretty decent swing path. Use a very light grip pressure
and keep your dominant hand quiet. The trick to the hinged club is to
keep the hinge pin in a vertical plane.
